Excerpting press release:
Espoo, Finland – Nokia has launched the NetGuard Security Management Center, bolstering its security solution family at a time when threats linked to an ever-connected world are on the rise. NetGuard Security Management Center is a consolidated, easy-to-use software platform that lets an operator monitor and control all the multi-vendor security systems deployed across its telecommunications network. Combining the monitoring and configuration of different systems in one place enhances security because incidents can be analyzed and correlated centrally to protect against threats that could otherwise go undetected by isolated security systems. As well as the quick and easy detection and prevention of attacks, NetGuard Security Management Center also increases operational efficiency and lowers the total cost of security for operators through automated and consistent mass configuration of security policies, bulk firmware upgrades and verification of vendor-specific security hardening settings. Security Management Center at a glance:
* Security Management Center integrates all network security systems, regardless of vendor, to monitor security status and manage incidents, vulnerabilities, security policies and network access.
* The solution watches for threats in networks by proactively detecting security weaknesses and correlating them according to its internal database.
* Security analytics are then applied by a rules-based, configurable decision-making engine that triggers automatic corrective action or helps operators implement a manual response.
* The system optimizes the configuration of security parameters and thus reduces the risk of network infrastructure attacks.
* Unlike vertical solutions dedicated to protecting network elements, Security Management Center offers a comprehensive view of the whole network, correlating events coming from typically isolated layers such as radio access, transport, core and operations to detect and mitigate a wider range of threats.
